Product Information
Full details
The Dainese Drake 2 Air Absøluteshell motorcycle pants are designed for adult male riders who demand versatility during summer and transition-season road trips. These pants excel by offering a modular design that combines breathable mesh construction with a removable waterproof membrane, allowing for rapid adaptation to changing weather conditions. While they provide excellent comfort and mobility for sporty riding, users should note that the removable membrane is an extra layer that requires storage space when not in use.

FAQs
Are these pants fully waterproof?
Yes, when the removable Absøluteshell membrane is installed, the pants provide a reliable waterproof barrier.
Do these pants include hip protection?
The pants include certified knee protection, but hip armor must be purchased separately and installed in the provided pockets.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These are primarily designed for summer and mid-season use. While the membrane blocks water and wind, they are not insulated for deep winter riding.
How do I choose the right size?
The size listed corresponds to the UK waist measurement in inches; compare this to your current well-fitting riding trousers.
Are the knee protectors adjustable?
The internal knee protectors are designed to sit in a fixed, ergonomic position, but the fit can be refined using the adjustable waist system.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting the waterproof membrane.
Ensure the zippers are aligned correctly at the waist and that the leg toggles are fully released to prevent bunching.
Pants feel loose during riding.
Adjust the waist straps until snug and verify the jacket-to-trousers attachment system is fully zipped.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, utilize the side adjustment straps at the waist before your first ride. If you are using the optional Pro-Shape 2.0 hip protectors, insert them into the internal pockets before fastening the pants. To connect to a Dainese jacket, zip the rear attachment strip to the corresponding zipper on your jacket.
Care instructions include removing the internal armor before cleaning. The outer shell can be hand-washed with mild soap to maintain the integrity of the mesh panels. Always air dry the waterproof membrane away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
